MATH 213

Fundamental Mathematics II

CR:

3.0

Prerequisite: Not open to first-year students. A course for prospective elementary teachers covering the methods of instruction of mathematics and emphasizing a hands-on approach. Topics include mathematical reasoning, geometry, and probability and statistics.

Course Overview

Students in the mathematical programs analyze and solve problems in a variety of environments while improving and extending their logical skills. Major programs may be elected which emphasize abstract or applied mathematics.

A student may earn either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics. Interdepartmental majors are offered in mathematical economics and mathematics-physics. Students interested in any of these majors are encouraged to consult the department chair for advising assistance.

Note: No more than two 300-level courses may be double-counted for a mathematics major and a statistics minor. No 300-level course may be double-counted for a mathematics minor and a statistics minor.

Choose 1 three-credit course in mathematical science at 300-level or above. BIOL 320 may be used for this requirement.

And choose BIOL 320 (if not used above) or one additional three-credit course in mathematics excluding MATH 113, MATH 211, and MATH 213.

Teacher LicensureStudents seeking teacher licensure in secondary mathematics must include MATH 310 and MATH 333 in their major program. In addition, one course in statistics (MATH 106 or MATH 205) must be included in the major program.
